Riot erupts in French town as veiled woman claims police brutalityA riot erupted in a town near Paris on Friday night after police stopped and charged a woman wearing the Islamic face-covering veil. Residents accused police of using violence against the woman's family, while police unions say her husband attacked an officer.

Thanks for the links, viocjit. It sounds like there's some question about how the police handled the original incident, which would help explain the subsequent reactions (though certainly not excuse them).

After being stopped by police last year for not displaying her P-plates, Ms Matthews was ordered to pay $276 in fines and court costs.She claimed on Channel Seven and allegedly in a statutory declaration to Campbelltown police that the officer who stopped her had attempted to tear the burqa off her face, a claim that was proven untrue by the police patrol car video camera.

Then the kicker...

Quote

...the judge (found) he could not be certain that it was Ms Matthews who made the statutory declaration complaining about the officer who stopped her car because the person who handed the document in to the police station wore a burqa

In the end she got a suspended jail sentence.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Resume (this resume is only about the arrestation) : They said that a woman with her husband and her child of four month had a control of identity (all the family had this control of identity) by police officers (when that happen you must show your "carte national d'identité" or national identity card [ID] in English language). They collaborated after the police said somethings like "ici t'est en France [Here you're in France]" , "tenue de chauve-souris ce n'est pas le carnaval" [Clothes of bat this is not the carnaval]. The mother explain that she're not OK about what they said , a police officer pushed her (the speaker don't know exactly what's happened because he said that he can't explain what's happened). The daughter take part in this conflict and said something like "vous ne touchez pas à ma mère" [Don't touch my mother]. After they tell others violence commited by police officers. They busted the couple (the speakers tell that the couple don't beat the police officers).

Personal think : They believe maybe really what they say or they practise the taqiyya (Arabic : ????).What is it ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaqiyyaFor me theirs version is probably untrue. I already saw muslims insult the police and fight with them (it was not in Trappes).After the muslims accuse the police to beat them so then that they are those who started the battle , this is a classic.
